This has been around for years, I actually tried one of the tools, something 7 it was called, way back before XP. You were able to open the cd tray with that as well as capture their keystrokes and screen, I think you were also able to capture their webcam but back then the transfer speeds and technology wouldn't have allowed video.

Never accept any files unless you know the person who sent them or what they are and use good security software and you'll be fine.

People need to stop getting laptops to use as desktops they should be pointed in the direction of nettops. You should only get a laptop if you need it for things like work or school.

Hoop your forehead goof. What a bunch of f'n nonsense. Another one of the dumbest things I've heard.Ever thought maybe some people like to do stuff that requires lots of power, but they like to be able to take all that power with them if need be?I've had 3 PCs and 6 laptops, and I'd never go back to a PC, absolutely pointless for me.Mine sits in my TV stand, hooked to my TV, and when I go somewhere, I take it with me.

As for this thread, I couldn't care less if someone can see threw my camera. I have 3 all pointed at me, doesn't bother me at all, I ain't the paranoid type.

Did you read the last part it kinda says only get one if you need it which most people who tend to be victims of things like this don't need.

OMG! The things he would have seen me and my wife do in bed.
Oh well, I'm not a prude so don't care.
Another thing you can do to protect yourself, simply turn the webcam (if applicable), to face the wall, or buy one with a lens cover.

That can be disabled.

Hehe. Fun days.

Put this on all the computers at the lab and the library at high school.... good times.... opened all the cd drives at once and one of the very religious teachers was scared and started to pray.
